InstallationTo prepare the frame legs for the HQ HighRise

1. Lower the frame to its lowest position.

IMPORTANT: Before proceeding, make sure the frame is level from front to back and from side to side. Use a spirit, or bubble, level if you have one available. If you need to adjust the leveling feet on the frame, use the 17/13/16mm wrench that came with your frame.

2. Remove the frame’s leg latches. Use a #3 hex wrench and an adjustable wrench (or 5/16-inch socket wrench) to remove all of the leg latches.

CAUTION: Be careful when removing the screw because the spring is under a slight tension.

IMPORTANT: Keep the leg latches, springs, and screws in case you need to remove the HQ HighRise system.

TopreparetheactuatorsforinstallationMount the saddle bracket to the non-motor end of all six actuators with M6 x 35mm screws. Slide the screw through the flat hole on the bracket, then through the opening on the actuator, and out through the hole on the other side of the bracket, tightening as you go.

The number of actuators you will install to the frame depends on the size and configuration of your frame. • If you have a 12-foot frame or a 10-foot frame, use

all six actuators (numbers 1 through 6) – one each on the front and back of the side legs and one on each of the center legs.

• If you have an 8-foot frame or a 6-foot frame, use five actuators (numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5) – one each on the front and back of the side legs and one on the center leg.

• If you have an 4-foot frame, use four actuators (numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4) – one each on the front and back of the side legs.

Use the following diagrams to determine which actuator to mount to each leg of the frame. Lay each of the prepared actuators next to the leg to which it will be mounted and double check before proceeding.

NOTE: The controller can be mounted on the left side or the right side of the frame. These instructions show photographs for mounting the controller on the right side of the frame. If you mount the controller on the left side of the frame, reverse the actuator numbers and positions (e.g. put actuator #1 on the back-left side leg, put actuator #2 on the front-left side leg, etc.). However, you should still connect the cables into the controller according to their numbers as described later.

To mount the actuators to the frame’s legsFollow steps 1 through 7 to mount each actuator required for the size and configuration of your frame. 1. Place the bottom saddle bracket over the

inside bottom frame tube with the motor side of the actuator facing away from the leg.

2. Tilt the bottom of the actuator (saddle bracket end) away from the leg and place the right and left top brackets around leg and over the top of the motor end of the actuator.

3. Insert a M6 x 50mm screw between the right and left top brackets and loosely fasten.

4. Insert four M6 x 16mm screws to clamp the right and left top brackets together around leg tube and loosely fasten.

5. Push the bottom of the actuator so the actuator is parallel to the leg.

6. Fully tighten all screws.

7. Insert a M6 x 55mm screw under the bottom frame tube and tighten.

8. Repeat steps 1 through 7 for each actuator you install.

Tolayoutandconnectthecables

1. Lay out extension cables #5 (longest), #6 (next longest), #4, and #3 (shortest) on the floor behind the frame. Make sure the cables are oriented such that the connector ends can be plugged into the actuators.

2. Connect the numbered extension cables to the #5, #6, #4, and #3 actuator cables. If youa re using fewer actuators, connect extension cables to only those actuators.

3. Pull the other ends of extension cables over to the right front side of the frame. (They will be connected to the controller later in the setup.)

Loosely fastenthe four 30mmscrews.


To mount the controller to the side of the frame

1. Remove the front poles from the frame’s pole brackets.

2. Use a small, adjustable wrench to remove two bolts from the front right side of the pole brackets.

3. Insert the bolts you just removed through controller’s mounting plate and place the bolts back into the front right side of the pole brackets. Tighten the bolts.

Toconnectcablesandpowersupply

1. Connect the #1 and #2 actuator cables to labeled connectors #1 and #2 on the controller.

2. Connect extension cables #3, #4, #5, and #6 to labeled connectors on the controller. Connectors #7 and #8 are open (nothing connected).

3. Lay the power supply inside the right-front bottom frame tube.

4. Connect the power supply cable to the controller. Wrap the power supply cord around the front-right leg and use cable ties to secure the power supply cable near the controller. Ensure there is sufficient slack in the cable to allow for raising the frame.

5. Connect the power cord to the back of the power supply.


6. Use one piece of cable sheath to bundle cables 1, 2, and 3 connected to the controller. Trim the sheath if necessary with a pair of scissors.

7. Use one piece of cable sheath to bundle the cables 4, 5, and 6 connected to the controller

NOTE: Trim the sheath to appropriate length, if necessary, with scissors.

8. Pull the cables with sheaths behind and underneath the right upper frame tube and push a fir-tree plug into any empty screw hole and then use a cable tie to secure the cable bundles

9. Use adhesive tie-wrap pads and cable ties to secure cable bundles to the back of the frame.

NOTE: To ensure good adhesion, wipe the frame with isopropyl alcohol and allow it to dry before sticking the adhesive tie-wrap pad.
